Toronto artist Friyie has been having a great year, and has been making great moves to push his career forward.
His latest release is the featureless 9-track Before the Flight which was released through the ANF Collective on June 26, 2020. The project made a prominent debut on the iTunes Canada Hip-Hop/Rap charts, and has seen strong numbers on other platforms as well including Spotify. Just recently, Before the Flight passed the 400K stream count, and currently sits just over 420K streams, and counting.
